Description
About This Game
Typing Bullets is an endless typing action game, where you move and shoot by typing the key you are on. Each new word you jump on will also shows you its definition. So you can improve your vocabulary and get better at typing at the same time. Fight enemies based on keyboard keys, collect upgrade points to customize your playthroughs and get a high score! If this sounds like something you would like, give the game a try. I hope you like it.
A very important note on the words that may appear in the game: games should be enjoyed by everybody, and so I did my best to remove all the bad and hateful words that I could find. I am aware that I might have missed some, so if you do find words that fit that criteria, such as words that are misogynistic, racist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, offensive to ethnicities or offensive to religions, or in any other way affect you emotionally or trigger emotional trauma, please let me know and I will do my best to remove these words and their definitions as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.
